OK I built a new super computer and now want to tackle a server running either windows or Linux and want to virtualize a domain controller...Can someone talk some sense into me on doing a tower and giving me some specs. I don't mind spending a bit of money. I like SSD drives...thanks...Todd
Been in the Data Center, so catching up.
I would start with an install of graphical Centos 7, then install whatever M$ instances you want.
I would spec at least 32G of RAM so that you can have multiple instances up to test upgrades/patches, etc
I would go with all SSD drives, either 2 RAID volumes, or for simplicity, one RAID 5 or 10 array.
